I'm looking at sparc4.jpg.  Is that I Millersville University property
tag I see on the front of that machine?  If so, then that was one of the
machines I worked on most likely.  The school sold a large lot last
year, and I didn't find out about it until after it was done.  There are
several words that come to mind to descibe them for doing that (I was
prepared to purchase the entire lot for a significant amount), but this
is polite company.
